Issue patronymics

Open Issue What to do with patronymics...

We have found a lot of profiles with patronymics that add the patronymics to the First name field ==> they get a 511 error. Is this correct or not?!?!?

Sälgö-1 04:06, 3 June 2016 (EDT) I think we should try to agree what to do with patronymics inside WikiTree.... I will start a G2G discussion on the suject plus its discussed in the Facebook Wikitree Swedish group link.

One approach is that we agree on how it should be done and we get a new error defined in this project that marks profile not following the rules with a unique error...
